Review Notes:The wrapper is too loose and too young (still has some green spots on it). OK draw. Plain tobacco and good vanilla flavours through the first half, gets harsh and very hot on the other half. These would make real good giftboxs.

Review Notes:I got my hands on this cigar today while buying some fonseca and some vintage Flor de Cano and I said to myself why not try this "bas de gamme" cigar.
First, the construction of the cigar is not its best point. Not bad for a machine made, but could have been stronger in built. At first his smell coming out from this cigar is quite purgent, basic tobacco, unmatured, very young.
Taste wise, well at first this reminded me of counterfeited Cohibas coming out from the Cuba black market (yeah I know cheap friends). It was purgeant and young. Then the taste went away only leaving a shy spicy aftertaste in my mouth.
Pretty light in flavours .
A medium draw, but this cigar burns out pretty quickly. And burning wise it is burning in a shy way.

Review Notes:You must have seen the T-shirt that says "my friend went to __ and all he got me was this damn T-shirt".Well a friend went to Cuba and all he brought back was a box of these cigars to give all his buddies.Well the thought was there but the choice was lacking.The stick looked all right and smoke well enough but lacked a good aroma or flavor.Personally Im glad it was free and I dont think I would ever go out and buy one.

Review Notes:A friend gave me one of these, so what the heck, I fired it up. For a machine made cigar, this was not bad. The flavor was decent, but not as good as the smaller sticks from this manufacturer. Since it was a freebie, I wouldn't complain, but I won't pay ISOM prices for this smoke.
